Halwa... an indian sweet dish which is easy to cook and can be made in just short time.We have all made this at some point or other at our homes.In India there are varied range of hawas from carrot halwa to lauki halwa,kaju halwa and dry fruit halwa. and etc...
When i was kid my mom used to make one Caramel Halwa for us.It used to be tasty and yummy and also tasted like Moong Dal halwa.Made from Semolina and Ghee,it is made by caramelising sugar.One thing i should tell you is that this is a tricky dish to be made because semolina tends to crystalise and if you don't keep stirring and patience on during its making the end product will not be as desired.
So guys don't give up if you can't make it at first attempt coz this dish is worth giving a try.I recently made it on my Mom- in- Law's visit and she was more than happy to eat it.....the first question she asked me was "is it moong dal halwa?".....So here's the recipe for halwa which you and your family will find yummy..
Ingredients
1 cup semolina (rava)
1 cup sugar
1 cup desi ghee
2 cups milk
1/2 cup mixed nuts
1/4 tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder
Method
2.Put 1 cup desi ghee in a thick bottomed kadhai & add 1 cup sugar to it.
3.Keep stirring.
4.Firstly sugar will turn to crystals & then melt.
5.Let the colour of sugar turn to golden brown.
6.Add the soaked semolina (in one go) to the sugar and ghee; keep stirring till it is of uniform consistency (approx 5 minutes).
7.Add chopped dry fruits, elachi powder.
8.Serve hot!
ps: this is dish where you have to forget about your calorie conciousness.more the ghee more the halwa is gooey and soft.enjoy it and run an exta mile in your next jogging session....coz seriously it's worth it.
i am sorry that i could not click the end product pic coz i made it just 15 mins before serving lunch and once served no one waited to hold on for the snap......
